Natural Meditation

A Guide to Effortless Meditative Practice

By: Dean Sluyter

Narrated by: Dean Sluyter

There's no trying in meditation.

If you can breathe, you can meditate. Just as water naturally runs downhill and leaves float naturally to the ground, we are all naturally able to settle into meditation. Meditation doesn't require trying; rather, meditation comes out of just allowing--not doing, just being.

Whether you're a complete novice or you've "tried it before," veteran meditation teacher Dean Sluyter's relaxed, down-to-earth approach will help you test-drive a variety of meditative techniques, such as breath, sound, the senses, the sky, and the simple sense of "I" and discover which ones fit you best. You'll discover that the key to meditation is effortlessness and find all the practical tips you need for adapting these methods to your own life as you live it, even for a few minutes a day. And as your life opens to deep happiness, clarity, peace, and creative energy, you'll be inspired to keep on practicing--naturally.

brilliant author instructions and voice.

Dean is great all around. This audible version of his book can truly help people learn how to meditate without stress. he has also a great sense of humor which I appreciate.

Best book ever for beginning meditation

Other books I've read focused on the why and where. Then I struggled with the how. This book focuses on the how. I was able to successfully sit when I was halfway through the book. Having just finished it, I'm having satisfying 20 minute sessions. Looking forward to continuing to grow.

A voice as soothing as the text!

What made the experience of listening to Natural Meditation the most enjoyable?

I generally prefer books read by the author, and in the case of Dean's latest book, it is particularly effective. Dean has been teaching meditation techniques for decades, and it definitely shows in his delivery of his own text, which flows as naturally from his lips as his words flowed from his mind to the page.

The only meditation instruction you’ll ever need!

Don’t hesitate. Quit searching. This is the ONLY meditation instruction you’ll ever need.
Dean has definitely mapped the road to meditation for the rest of us ❤️🧘🏻‍♂️
